[indistinct chatter]

Couldn't manage one day

with outside contact?

Yeah.

Something like that.

I get it. Your boyfriend

probably misses you.

Yeah. Javier gets really upset

when I don't check in.

He's a bodybuilder.

So I don't like to make him mad.

Plus, I also

have to email social services

to let them know Amelia hasn't

locked me in the basement.

'Cause that's something

we're worried about.

Probably not.

One second.

Nelson here was actually

just wrapping things up.

Thanks, Nelson.

So, what do you

have to do tomorrow night?

I was thinking

a little brooding

maybe penning some

angsty poetry, for sure

avoiding awkward conversation

with my only living relative.

You know, the usual.

Tried out the whole

poetry thing for a while

after my mom passed away.

My eye in [indistinct]

definitely needs work.

- I'm so sorry.

- Thanks.

Anyway, if you get bored

of poetry, there's this thing

happening down at the yacht club

tomorrow night.

'Sort of an island tradition to

kick off the start of summer.'

You should come.

Good for angst-drowning.

- Yeah. Maybe.

- Alright.

I'll see you there.

- Oh, my gosh. You're Miranda.

- I'm Cece N. Cooper.

My mom told me not

to bother you this week

because you and your mom

have like tons of bonding

and whatever

to make up for, but

I'm pretty sure

she just said that

'cause her Botox

went a little wanky

and she's desperate

for company.

Anyways, I couldn't wait

to meet you.

Plus Ginny says

you're a total freak.

Which means,

we're gonna be BFFs.

- It's nice to meet you.

- What are you doing right now?

Do you want to grab

ice-cream with me?

My treat, I mean

not that I don't think

you can afford ice cream.

You're..

You don't seem

poor or anything.

I just...wanna be nice.

- I have to be somewhere.

- Okay.

Sorry, uh, you caught me

in weird moment.

- Cece, right?

- Right.

I guess

I'm having a hard time

coping with moving

to a small town

where everyone knows my height,

weight and shoe size.

Oh, no one

can get your shoe size.

I've been trying all day.

[chuckling]

Ginny goes to Deerfield,

but, you know

my parents aren't into

the whole catholic-school thing.

Bobby and TJ go to Exeter.

Bobby's dad,

he used to play football.

But you know, he owns like seven

restaurants. He's a creeper.

And Kate's totally bulimic but

we all pretend not to notice.

And that sends her

toward the cove.

Everything else is tiny

territory

which is better left

than explored.

(Miranda)

Hey, what do you know about Leo?

Not much.

Townies usually

avoid the heirs.
